I wanted the medicine, not the BS. Luckily for me, my interests in biology weren't limited to human phisiology, and the latter part of my undergrad career I got interested in environmental science.

I definitely agree with you on that... but, in the current stage of my life, big business is a great thing.

I'm also extremely biased on the big business issue (prefer)... I also came to my school for their superb medicine program, but after witnessing the kids and how competitive they are (i.e. pulling FUCKING [sorry for the language] fire alarms at 3am during midterm week), i realized that i didn't need to subject myself to such unnecessary competition.

Plus, i like the fast-paced nature of the financial services industry.

What was your major Jason??

I don't know walking over the C-town bridge after some of my prelims I would hear myself telling the bridge to "Fvck Off" and I would walk towards the middle of the bridge..

U of Miami.... i wish i went there!

Hey thanks, me too..

Picture yourself inside a freezer with 55 mph winds, it's raining, and you have 70 hours of homework to do in 20 hours. That's Cornell.

University of Miami - YOU MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE!!!!

Law school, so I'm plenty familiar with C-town bridge

That bridge wasn't nearly high enough for a dramatic plunge though. Isn't there a much higher bridge way over in north campus that is considered the suicide bridge?

Ashland U(in ohio) for a year
Otterbein College (15 mins north of ohio state) the last 3 years

Majored in Sport Management. Worked in a few good places in Cleveland; Greater Cleveland Sports Commission, Grand Prix of Cleveland(that was freaking sweet!), and the Cleveland Indians. Breaking through in that profession is extremely hard and I couldn't live any longer getting paid $8/hr working 5 hrs less than full time.

Now I work for the family business. We have a legal delivery firm. Process, summons, subpoena, foreclosers, you name it we serve it. We have about 80% of Cleveland business and looking to expand into further areas of Ohio in the next year or so. My gf likes to think it's not a real job because I work less and make more, but she can sure find ways to spend my money.

I don't know. I never really felt the need to know either..

PS. That bridge does "work". Sophomore year I lived in Cascadilla I remember at least one body that was found down there..

GO BIG RED!!!
